According to a criminal complaint, around 8:33 p.m. on Friday, May 29, DuBois-based State Police were dispatched to a residence on Egypt Road in Brockway, Warsaw Township, Jefferson County, for a report of a violent domestic incident.
According to the complaint, at the scene, Jesse Allen Reitz reported he got into an argument with a known woman and shoved her to the ground during the argument.
